ML workloads are becoming increasingly popular in the cloud. Good cloud training performance is contingent on efficient parameter exchange among VMs. We find that Collectives, the widely used distributed communication algorithms, cannot perform optimally out of the box due to the hierarchical topology of datacenter networks and multi-tenancy nature of the cloudenvironment.In this paper, we present Cloud Collectives , a prototype that accelerates collectives by reordering theranks of participating VMs such that the communication pattern dictated by the selected collectives operation best exploits the locality in the network.Collectives is non-intrusive, requires no code changes nor rebuild of an existing application, and runs without support from cloud providers. Our preliminary application of Cloud Collectives on allreduce operations in public clouds results in a speedup of up to 3.7x in multiple microbenchmarks and 1.3x in real-world workloads of distributed training of deep neural networks and gradient boosted decision trees using state-of-the-art frameworks.

Model parameter synchronization across GPUs introduces high overheads for data-parallel training at scale. Existing parameter synchronization protocols cannot effectively leverage available network resources in the face of ever increasing hardware he terogeneity. To address this, we propose Blink, a collective communication library that dynamically generates optimal communication primitives by packing spanning trees. We propose techniques to minimize the number of trees generated and extend Blink to leverage heterogeneous communication channels for faster data transfers. Evaluations show that compared to the state-of-the-art (NCCL), Blink can achieve up to 8x faster model synchronization, and reduce end-to-end training time for image classification tasks by up to 40%.
Distributed training techniques have been widely deployed in large-scale deep neural networks (DNNs) training on dense-GPU clusters. However, on public cloud clusters, due to the moderate inter-connection bandwidth between instances, traditional stat e-of-the-art distributed training systems cannot scale well in training large-scale models. In this paper, we propose a new computing and communication efficient top-k sparsification communication library for distributed training. To further improve the system scalability, we optimize I/O by proposing a simple yet efficient multi-level data caching mechanism and optimize the update operation by introducing a novel parallel tensor operator. Experimental results on a 16-node Tencent Cloud cluster (each node with 8 Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs) show that our system achieves 25%-40% faster than existing state-of-the-art systems on CNNs and Transformer. We finally break the record on DAWNBench on training ResNet-50 to 93% top-5 accuracy on ImageNet.
Every organisation today wants to adopt cloud computing paradigm and leverage its various advantages. Today everyone is aware of its characteristics which have made it so popular and how it can help the organisations focus on their core activities le aving all IT services development and maintenance to the cloud service providers. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) act as the interface between the CSPs and the consumers. This paper proposes an improved access control mechanism for securing the Cloud APIs.
Point clouds captured in real-world applications are often incomplete due to the limited sensor resolution, single viewpoint, and occlusion. Therefore, recovering the complete point clouds from partial ones becomes an indispensable task in many pract ical applications. In this paper, we present a new method that reformulates point cloud completion as a set-to-set translation problem and design a new model, called PoinTr that adopts a transformer encoder-decoder architecture for point cloud completion. By representing the point cloud as a set of unordered groups of points with position embeddings, we convert the point cloud to a sequence of point proxies and employ the transformers for point cloud generation. To facilitate transformers to better leverage the inductive bias about 3D geometric structures of point clouds, we further devise a geometry-aware block that models the local geometric relationships explicitly. The migration of transformers enables our model to better learn structural knowledge and preserve detailed information for point cloud completion. Furthermore, we propose two more challenging benchmarks with more diverse incomplete point clouds that can better reflect the real-world scenarios to promote future research. Experimental results show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a large margin on both the new benchmarks and the existing ones.

With the advance in mobile computing, Internet of Things, and ubiquitous wireless connectivity, social sensing based edge computing (SSEC) has emerged as a new computation paradigm where people and their personally owned devices collect sensor measur ements from the physical world and process them at the edge of the network. This paper focuses on a privacy-aware task allocation problem where the goal is to optimize the computation task allocation in SSEC systems while respecting the users customized privacy settings. It introduces a novel Game-theoretic Privacy-aware Task Allocation (G-PATA) framework to achieve the goal. G-PATA includes (i) a bottom-up game-theoretic model to generate the maximum payoffs at end devices while satisfying the end users privacy settings; (ii) a top-down incentive scheme to adjust the rewards for the tasks to ensure that the task allocation decisions made by end devices meet the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the applications. Furthermore, the framework incorporates an efficient load balancing and iteration reduction component to adapt to the dynamic changes in status and privacy configurations of end devices. The G-PATA framework was implemented on a real-world edge computing platform that consists of heterogeneous end devices (Jetson TX1 and TK1 boards, and Raspberry Pi3). We compare G-PATA with state-of-the-art task allocation schemes through two real-world social sensing applications. The results show that G-PATA significantly outperforms existing approaches under various privacy settings (our scheme achieved as much as 47% improvements in delay reduction for the application and 15% more payoffs for end devices compared to the baselines.).
